Our experience / Mapperley, Nottingham
Tamasha.
A seat by the live kitchen.
When Shani opened Tamasha after the pandemic, the idea was simple. Guests could watch the kitchen at work as part of their evening out.
A typical trading week
Around 1,000 guests, all dining in.
Founder Shani recalls welcoming around 1,000 guests in an ordinary week. Every cover was a guest at a table. Tamasha operated exclusively as a dine-in restaurant.
Inside the Mapperley restaurant.
From the blossom canopy above the tables to the finishing touches on a dish, the room gave guests a close view of service. Shani remembers welcoming visitors from around the world to this Nottingham neighbourhood.

Restaurant rebrand / Mapperley
From Tamasha to MOOD Steakhouse.
Founder Shani felt Tamasha had reached its potential in Mapperley. He saw more diners looking for steak and chose to rebrand the restaurant while it was still busy. At MOOD, Steak & Sauce became a signature dinner dish, and Steak French Toast brought the idea to brunch.
